The recoil spring guide (rod) should be inserted into the tighter end of the spring. That end is usually the painted end.




“Most men … can seldom accept the simplest and most obvious truth if it … would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions … which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabrics of their lives.”
— Leo Tolstoy

Paint color indicates spring weight on OEM springs.
